I'm in love
Officially i am in love with ireland. When we first arrived at firtst, i just really liked it. It was exciting to be out of North America and into a world of culture. But not, i am full heartedly in love with ireland. As much ans i do enjoy living in the `us, the culture here has sucked me in. Everyone is laid back, honest, sarcastic, they all have the best humor and they done take anyone's BS. Everynight you can go down to the pubs, have beer and take part in these amazing discussions of life, love, religion, government, philosophy, anything you are thinking.
What really got me was the festival we went to on Monday. It was at Emo Court, the singal most breathtaking place i have ever seen. the land streches on forever. Everwhere you look is full lush green valleys, old forests, and in one corner there is a massive lake that was swimming with swans. Alana and i spent an hour and a half walking through the woods and taking in the scenery. It was overwhelming. The trees seemed to go up forever and touch the sky. All the sounds of the birds chirpping, the wind ruslting the leaves, all the incests and life in the forest. I went around touching everything i could. Flowers, grass, bushes, trees. Putting your open palm on tree that is hundreds of years old is like no other experience in the world. feeling the life, engery and power running through it is amazing. I found a tree that had the letters J K carved into it they looked like they had been carved decades ago. Thomas Jefferson walked the same grounds and pathways, saw the same water, smelled the same smells of the forest, Emo Court really inspired him. I love to think about all the great parties and banquets they would throw in the Mannor. I would love to have a month to just go riding and explore the land and the forest.
Last night we all went up the street to The Tack Room,a local pub, and played pool for a few hours while having a few beers. It was Ashley, Diana, Alana, Chris, Patrick and I. Afterwards we heading into town to find a goof resturant to have a bite. It was at 9:45 so most of the places were closeing up. But we found this little Intalian place that was a total hole in the wall but it would be open untill 11pm. So we popped in and had the most amazing dinner so far of the trip. We all ate by candle light, shared a bottle of white wine, and talked about our view on ethics and creation. It was so rewarding, all the people here are very insipring in their own ways. But they still all know how to have a great time. there is nothing like club and bar hopping here. You make friends with the people in one club, they go with you to the next bar, and so on an so forth. So by the end of the night, what started out as a group of 6 is now a group of 20.
Next week we are going to Dublin for the Bloomsday festival. It is going to be amazing, a group of us is planning to hop over to London stay there for a night, then possibly go over to Amsterdam. Who knows? either way it will be interesting. love you all
